Southeastern Natives

What Are Southeastern Native Plants?

Southeastern native plants grow naturally in the southeastern United States. These species have evolved in the region’s climate and soils without human selection. They support native pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. At Woodlanders, we focus on plants with local ecological value.

Adapted to Local Conditions

Native species in this collection grow in a wide range of southeastern landscapes. Many plants thrive in shaded woodland areas, while others suit full sun or well-drained sandy soil. You will find tough species for dry slopes as well as moisture-loving groundcovers.

Some selections also appear in Sun Lovers and Woody Plants. Each plant listing includes details on light needs, water tolerance, and growth habits.

Shrubs, Ferns, Trees, and More

We carry Southeastern native shrubs, small trees, perennials, and grasses. Popular plants include native azaleas, deciduous ferns, and flowering vines. Customers often browse Herbaceous Perennials and Vines for additional regional matches.

You will also find species from native ecosystems such as pine savannas, hardwood forests, and coastal plains. Several plants in this collection cross-reference with Sub-Tropicals and Fiery Blooms, based on their bloom colors or heat tolerance.

Native Plants for Home Landscapes

Southeastern natives can be used for habitat gardens, restoration areas, or general landscaping. These plants work well in residential yards, native plant borders, and wildlife corridors. Some selections also appear in Grasses and Bamboos and Bulbs and Tubers for those looking to build layers of seasonal interest.
